This is a remix of 3rd style's ending theme, [[Tangerine Stream]]. In 3rd style, we wanted to go in a new direction for IIDX. We wanted music like [[Presto]] and Tangerine Stream to be on the song list along club music, which was a huge deviation of what we normally have done in the past. These two attempts were a great success, and have become the standard genre of IIDX.

This year, without thinking, I was playing Tangerine Stream's intro on my keyboard. Suddenly, a Four-on-the-floor rhythm popped into my head, and that is how the remix was made. The movie seemed to have been difficult to make...<br>

Speaking of remixes, I have recently heard remixes and covers of famous songs in the past at CM. People have many different interpretations of one single melody, and I want to listen to what people have to create from this melody.

That kind of remix will not amount to much by itself, but perhaps with promotion it will show remarkable ability. A remix which can be made perfect if possible, will be looked back on as something of a good nature.

The concept is to create a music video about a fictitious airline called Blueberry Stream Airlines, and furthermore produce a fictional corporate PR video for them.<br>

The image of the original song, "Tangerine Stream", depicted an airplane flying through the sunrise, so those who knew this may have grinned.

Starting with the logo and design mark, to making the boarding pass and the plane, from the movies I produced so far, this was difficult and especially time consuming to prepare.<br>
It was a tough job, starting with the logo and design mark, to making the boarding pass and the airplane, which took more prep work than any of the movies I produced so far.<br>
... However, I really love aviation-related designs, from airplanes in the airport, to printed material, so I was able to persistently make a replica "it's fake", and had some fun (my dream expanded).

The song's progression consists of a comfortable nervousness before boarding, a sense of security and space after takeoff, and a sense of anticipation and relief after landing... As it's a dramatic development based on the movement of the passengers' heart, I didn't worry at all about the movie's structure, with the plot depicting "an airplane still on the way to a southern land during a blueberry-colored early morning".<br>

From the boarding pass displayed in the introduction, only the motion typography with motifs is not from the passengers' perspective, and even TAKA said "Do you not understand (what a boarding pass is)?", but it was a warm idea I had before listening to the song, and I couldn't help but use it (laughs).

Moreover, the detailed scenes and designs of the destination were included in a short time, but they are complemented in the movie of "[[Summer Vacation(CU mix)]]" ([[Yuji Takahashi|VJ YUZ]]'s idea!), so please play both songs consecutively!!
